Hah, anyone who has the guts to use pretty video-gamey pictures in their NESes will most likely be automatically be labeled Daftpretenders in any case. The makes me very sad because I have at least some respect for niches, while said niches are some of the very fun niches to be in. :sad:

Daft, you might like some of sprites here. The gold/yellow ones have a very cool retro look about them, and I support diversification in the sprite nation. :D

There's also some good potential for "anti tank" infantry as well, which I suggest as a third infantry option.
 
Most of my previous scene-setting was overriden, so giving Aqua a new concept (if technically compatible).

The General's Alliance
A First World nation in civil war. All over the country people were dying, as outsiders did nothing. Mysterious forces were at play, in the form of the Orbital Coalition. With other powers there was no idea what was going on.

The question was whether to join the Anarchist forces and fight off the mysterious powers, or join them in restoring order. For men who desired power, neither course was acceptable.

One option remained open- rebellion. A coalition of three generals (although one was quicker stripped of his power) to defeat the Anarchists and the outsiders, under the pretext of national unity and anarchy being unacceptable.

General Sodgian of Fithran. The mysterious man codenamed 'besthot9'. And the powerless but still nominally influential General Sentheo of the Northern Frontier. Calling on reinforcements from overseas backers, it was these men who would lead their faction to glory...
 
Orders:
Buy 1 heavy trooper. Place at G10.
G10 heavy trooper to G9.
G9 hero heavy trooper will regroup to try and heal.
Light tank will pull back to G9 to protect hero.
The two troopers at I9 will domesticate these crab creatures and use them as weapons.
One H9 trooper to H8. Other one will dig in.
Continue negotiations with humvee squad. If necessary demonstrate crab creature power.


Story:
Trooper 1: Hey look mutant crabs!
Trooper 2: WHAT!?!?
Trooper 1: Ya mutant crabs.
Trooper 2: Ooooooooooooo Kaaaaaaaaaaaay.......
Trooper 1: Oooh look, he's crusing steel girders! I think I'll call him Humphrey!
Trooper 1: Come here Humphrey!
Trooper 2: You do realize that it's probably dangerous right.
Trooper 1: No it isn't! Just look atits cute claws of doom!
Trooper 2: Alrighty then......

To Be Continued......
 
TO: COBRA (Coordinated Orbital Barometric Reconnaissance Armada) Co-Commander
FROM: Anarchist Forces, H4

We respond to your request with Mokusatsu. One does not surrender to mere threats. And a true Anarchist never surrenders to authoritarian scum (except to further to cause of Anarchy).
 
PM's sent/replied to.

As for updates, another will appear when there are some more orders.

@Thlayli and flyingchicken, thanks very much for the links (yay new toys to play with :D). I have an easy method of re-colouring things so they could be used for all sides. In another version of this game, we could even have technological progress from ww1 to futuristic things.

Nice picture of GI JOE also, I like the super-saiyan style aura of power!

@Lord_Iggy, I lol'ed at your COBRA commanders :)
 
I'd move slower, but given that the update is contingent on orders...

Orders:
NWAG units will move into E8, and give the upgrades to bestshot9's tank. We bank the cash to increase reserves.

EDIT: Actually, they should fire if the anarchists do.

That was actually a transcript of a conversation between Thlayli and Myself- bonus points to whoever guesses which is which. ;)
 
And bonus points to Iggy when he sends orders. ;)

Coordinated Orbital Barometric Reconnaissance Armada (NAO Faction) Orders:

Light Tank: Move to G3. Secure the site of the transport crash. Prepare armor piercing rounds in event of combat.

Missile Artillery: Open fire on H4 Anarchist positions. (Double attack if they attempt to move.) Heck, double attack even if they don't move.

Trooper: Remain fortified. Attempt to recruit from the civilian population we aided with supplies.
 
The Elite 88th Red Army's Orders:
Spending Orders:
Spend $4 on a Light Tank.
Save $2 for later use.

Operational Orders:
My light tank starts at E1 and moves to E4 attacking and destroying any enemy resistence.

If Charles Li doesn't send orders:
Move the light tank at E2 to attack and take the airfield at F5.
Move the trooper at D1 to D3 and try to convince the rebel trooper to join the Red Army. Move the trooper C3 to D3 to force their decision into joining. If the rebels decline, kill them.
Move the Flakker to E2 and fortify there.
 
COBRA Co-Commander Two grinned as his transport plummeted downwards to G2 in his gunship.

Plummeted?

"Engines guys!"

The penguins braced as the war machine's rotors roared to life, and the fall stopped.

Now, the gunship spun around in a dizzying circle.

"Rear rotor guys."

One penguin screamed he flew out of the side door. Slowly, the gunship ceased to spin. The penguin fell back in through the side door, then out the far side.

"We really should have closed those things for the flight..." muttered the Co-Commander.

The captain shouted something from the front of the craft, completely drowned out by the noise of the engines.

"What? WHAT?"

The engine noise began to fade.

"What?"

"We've landed sir."

"Ah. Great!"

With that, the crew stepped out onto a rocky plateau.

"Alright!" exclaimed Cobra Co-Commander Two. "Where's the facility?"

"Somewhere close" responded the captain.

Cobra Co-Commander's quick visual scan was interrupted by a penguin crashing down into the ground. Fortunately, his fall was broken by a soft pile of gravel.

"Ah, there it is!"

"Huh?"

The entire party looked at the pile of gravel, which was sinking into the earth. Quickly, a large metal door was revealed. Upon it were several dents, bullet holes, unsightly reddish smears, and what appeared to be fingernail marks.

"Alright team! Who's ready for an adventure?"

Orders for Gold Army #2/Cobra Co-Commander Two/Lord_Iggy
Start with One Gunship at G2. Secure the site. Investigate the secret research facility, reprogram the robots to be under our control. Keep searching deeper and deeper. If something overly powerful tries to kill us, run away as fast as our little penguin feet can make it, blowing the facility up behind us.
 
:salute: Thanks guys, I'll start on an update now. Shouldn't take long, unless I get sidetracked for an hour or ten like usual :)
